The Board

Everyone votes. Each vote puts a team some yards from the end zone.

The official board counts only the top 20% of voters by 1Q, and never fewer than 5. Each of those votes is weighted by the voter's 1Q. Pick games well and your vote moves the board.

A vote on your own team counts half. Homers get discounted.

The Crowd board is everyone else. Compare the two.
